Configuring large, complex systems, such as enterprise class systems, is a complex task. The complexity is due in part to interdependencies between various configuration settings. Further complicating configuration of such large systems is that the configuration is almost necessarily a large task, spread across multiple independent project teams. This often results in the configuration actions of one team unknowingly causing the settings of another team to be inconsistent. Such inconsistencies can cause system issues, and even system failure. Further, moving configuration settings from one application domain, such as a development domain, to another application domain, such as a production domain, provides further challenges in ensuring accuracy and timeliness of changes.
